Is this resistant to domains being taken down for "copyright" reasons, which has shown that one does not really own the domain and is at a whim of a registrar.
Not back, it's taking the domains the guy registered.
Maybe you should stop being a domain squatter.
Do like the nissan.com dude did. You have the domain and no one will ever take it from you. Tarnish their reputation is they are unethical.
I've had this happen during new TLD launches. I owned lap.top for about a day but so did a whole lot of people. I lost that race. You don't own a domain. You rent it and the registrar can take it back. They generally don't, outside of trademark issues, legal problems or race conditions but they can.
Because domain names aren't public property.
You're assuming he is going to lose the domain. Which is not a good assumption. It's name squatting, not company / brand squatting
You don't "own" a domain: you have a recurring lease on it.
Isn’t that illegal to a certain extent (domain squatting)?
Be careful with this. This could be considered cybersquatting, which is illegal with lots of prior cases.
